It usually takes 7-10 days for dogs to recover after castration surgery

After sterilization surgery, dogs of different ages generally take into account the different recovery times, so the recommendations of the surgeon are generally the main ones.

Generally, the normal recovery time after sterilization surgery is: about 7-10 days (the sutures are removed 7 days after the operation). During this period, the incision should be treated regularly and kept dry. If there is obvious leakage, contact the doctor in time.

Another thing to note is that you need to wear a headgear for 10 days after the operation to prevent the dog from licking the surgical site, which may cause infection.

Trend Precautions after surgery

After surgery, you should limit excessively strenuous exercise, climbing stairs, and overeating. Do not take a bath until the wound is completely healed (about 10-14 days). During the wound healing process, if you find blood oozing out of the wound, it may be that the wound has collapsed and you need to go to the hospital for follow-up consultation.

Do not allow your dog to eat immediately after surgery. Gastrointestinal motility is slow after anesthesia, and symptoms of gastroenteritis may occur if you are eager to eat. Generally, you can eat a small amount of food 3 hours after the operation. Do not feed too much at once. Feed water normally. You may feel less energetic than usual that day. If you find any abnormalities, such as fever or not eating, please contact the hospital immediately.
